Surely military drones will use OpenStreetMap data? Even the Russians and Iranians can use it for whatever purpose they like.
Yes, there other mobile editor that are arguably more featured (EveryDoor, OSM Go, OsmAnd), but StreetComplete has a nice gamification / simplification of UI that makes editing a breeze.
MapComplete is a nice alternative if you care about some part of the map that are not easily filterable by StreetComplethttps://mapcomplete.org/
Unfortunately, there doesn't seem to be a project like mapillary or streetcomplete that forbids military use.
How can I channel my energy into preventing my data from being used for military purposes?
I assumed that in urban USA the map would be fairly complete and opportunities for edits would be somewhat rare. My assumption was very wrong. The app showed a dozen quests just outside of my office building. Thanks for suggesting it!
